CURRENT MISSION

To see beautiful places and meet interesting people the world over.

ABOUT ME

I'm seeking new experiences, positive people, and inspiring places. I am really into getting outdoors and to that end I surf, climb, and hike as much as I can. I'm always looking for people to share these activities with and locals to give me some insight into the areas I'm in.

I'm a designer and environmentalist. I seek to apply my skills and knowledge to protecting the environment and making people's experiences in the world a little better.

My fiance works with autistic children in there home environment teaching them daily life skills and reducing aggression.

PHILOSOPHY

When you stop learning you start dying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sea snakes in Thailand, Surfed Todos Santos in Baja Mexico, and the other day I saw 4 dolphins surfing down a wave for 600' dodging surfers and jumping through the face of the wave as they went.

Teach, Learn, Share

My greatest interest these days is food, eating locally, and local economies. We get fresh produce from a local organic farm and cook all time. We'd love to have guests who also appreciate good food and who can share with us their thoughts on health, the environment, and current affairs.

I want to find new surf spots up north.

I'm working on becoming a climbing instructor and guide. I'd be happy to learn from the experienced and teach the novices.
